Baldor 56CZ Industrial Heavy Duty AC Induction Electric Motor

Baldor's 56CZ Industrial Heavy-Duty AC Induction Electric Motor is a compact, purpose-built pump drive designed for demanding industrial service. This Baldor-branded motor uses a 56CZ frame and is specified at 0.25 HP with a nominal speed of 1140 RPM when powered from 250V. The combination of a small horsepower rating and a 56CZ frame makes it suitable for compact pump assemblies and other light-to-medium-duty equipment found in industrial environments where reliable, long-term operation is required. The frame designation (56CZ) places it in Baldor's 56-series family, a common footprint for retrofits and replacements in pump-driven applications. To ensure proper fit and electrical compatibility, confirm the precise configuration listed on the unit’s nameplate, including phase (single- or three-phase), enclosure type, and mounting details, before installation. If your system calls for a 56CZ-frame Baldor motor operating at 250V with about 0.25 HP and 1140 RPM, this model provides a direct-fit option within that footprint for replacement or retrofit projects in pump-driven equipment.
